New Yorkers joined the global movement of "One Billion Rising" to gather and dance on Valentine’s Day in order to call attention to violence against women. "If a man knows a woman who is a victim or survivor then he knows what that is like because it will effect her for the rest of her life," said Jerin Arifa, with the National Organization for Women, who danced in Union Square. "It will effect her productivity, the way she can love again, the way she can trust again. It will effect them also." At another event in Times Square, dozens of people organized a "We Will Not Be Silent," protest.
